Google Drive and Box.com are both juggernauts in the cloud-storage industry, however, moving files between them can sometimes be a slow process. To speed it up, use a tool called Backup Box to assist you.

Steps

1

Use a tool named Backup Box, which is a website built entirely to help people transfer files between different services.

Authorize your Google Drive account by clicking the 'New Connector' option from the connectors dropdown menu. (It should say "Start here!"). Follow the instructions to grant Backup Box access to the account you are connecting to. Each connector has a different set of instructions.

4

Authorize your Box.com account by clicking the 'New Connector' option from the connectors dropdown menu. Box.com requires you to click on a link in Backup Box, which then takes you to Box.com to grant access to Backup Box.

5

Pick whichever connector you would like to transfer from, and browse to the correct folder.

6

Now pick whichever connector you wish to transfer to!

7

Set your transfer options. Different services have different options. Backup Box allows you to transfer all of the files, archive them, use a time stamp, etc.

8

It's time to set your transfer in motion! Review everything to make sure your settings are correct. Then finalize the transfer using the buttons on the bottom of the screen. You will be given a prompt to accept the transfer, and once you agree, the files will start to move.

You can also schedule this transfer to happen automatically, by simply clicking 'Schedule This' instead of 'Transfer Now'.
